Hi!

As you know Im extremely happy with the services that Ionian Charter offers as this is my second consecutive year as a client and I look forward to many more.

Maria Beka has been very helpful during the pre-trip period and she is extremely polite and helpful to anything we need prior to our trip.

The yacht was in excellent condition and we are very happy with both the captain Panos and our host Maria who have been professional, knowledgeable and helpful planning our trip, very friendly and blended well with our group.

Panos is a great captain and Maria a fantastic host and cook.

I would take any opportunity to recommend Ionian Charter to other firnds who are looking to have a similar experience.

Right beforehand, from the organization everything has worked out and we have been received by Ionian very friendly. The takeover of the yaht took place on the afternoon of the 22nd of June. It was in a good condition, very clean and functional in order - an old ship but well maintained.

Sails OK and easy to operate and the berths, sanitary facilities and facilities were in good condition.

Me and my family would like to thank you and all the stuff of Ionian charter for a great week, nice boat and good service. We enjoyed very much sailing in the saronic gulf and sure well use your company services in the future since we come to Greece almost every year.

Im back from my sailing holiday on your boat and Im happy to be able to tell you that I;m looking forward to sail with you again.

Indeed there were some issues, and I had to leave on Saturday for the base personnel to repair them, but I can understand that such things can happen. Most important is that is your colleagues (Nick in the office, and Aris and Papastefano on the pier) were friendly and helpful and did what they could to solve said issues.

I handed over a positive feedback from and look forward to my next charter with you.

Many thanks for your kind notice. Of course I will send you my feedeback on this years charter in the Ionian Sea.

Lets keep this quite short... We were very pleased with everything from booking until check out in Lefkas. We were surpised that even the transport from the airport in Preveza to the Marina Lefkas was organized and so this was an extra relaxing start into our holidays.

Our boat "ARION" was in excellent condition, technically and also perfectly clean. We had an issue with the which needed to be fixed before we could start our sailing trip. Special thanks to Aris and also Elenis son whho helped us a lot to fix this.

All in all we had a very pleasant and relaxing holiday and will come back to you for sailing next year. In fact we consider chartering "ARION" once again. We got to like him :-)

Once again many thanks for your efforts and all the best,

Werner

Mr. Reinhold Kleindienst 10.6-17.06.2017 Bavaria 46 Lefkas - Lefkas

Dear Sirs,

We all spend a nice time in Greece. The charter was perfect. The yacht, the condition and the base, also check - in and check - out were perfect. We think, that we will come again next year.

P.S
Mrs. Aya Damary and her company including her husband Mr. Florent
Scarpel, had her birthday on Saturday 1st of July so while their stay in
the office until sailing with Alina, i spontaneously "made a cake" to
welcome her in wishes as a "good luck" sign for the tripon behalf of the
Ionian Charter company because I was so satisfied myself that it was
the least I felt to do :) I hope you dont mind!! She loved the surprise
and she is extra lovely herself! Καλές Θάλασσες!!!!

Mr. Stoyanov 17.06 - 24.06.2017 Bali 4.3 Lefkas - Lefkas

Dear Ionian Charter Team,

I have the authority to provide you with the feedback on behalf of all members of our crew.

Indeed we are again highly satisfied with your services. The catamaran was very new, the equipment was excellent and fulfilled all our needs and even exceeded our expectations. The process of documentation, embarking and disembarking at port Lefkas was very swift and friendly, which we highly appreciated.

Last, but not least, our trip, our holidays would have never been as fantastic if it was not our skipper Stassi. We always felt very well protected, advised and taken care of. His personality and attitudetowards our children impress us for the second year.

We certainly look forward to our next sailing trip with you and remain with you.

Best Regards,

Deian Stoyanov, Managing Director

Mr. Enoeckl 24.09 - 08.10.2016 Bavaria 37 Corfu - Corfu

Dear Ms. Eleni and the Ionian Charter Team,

First of all a big thank you for your caring and for two wonderful and relaxing weeks of sailing holidays in the Ionian Sea.

We were very pleased with your services both with the office work and on site in Gouvia Marina. We were welcomed by Alexandra and her guys in a very cordial way. Everything was already prepared and the papers easily settled.

The yacht was in very good coondition - especially for a 9 years old Bavaria. I hardly ever encountered an engine room so neat and clean on an older boat. George from base staff took his time to explain everything very carefully. I always appreciate this because I want to be prepare for everything out at sea (although I never needed so far :-) ).

Altogether, we had a very pleasing holiday! Once again many thanks for your efforts and also for the charming treatment :-) We plan to come back to you for holidays next year!

Mr. Savvides 27.08 - 03.09.2016 Lagoon 500 Alimos, Athens - Mykonos

Dear Eleni and team,

First of all let me say that it was a pleasure meeting you and many thanks
for the warm welcome and your willingness to assist in all matters relating to
the charter.

Everything was fine with our trip except the weather which necessitated
change of plans and an early arrival in Mykonos. The yacht was fine and
precisely as advertised and so was the crew. The captain was very experienced
and caring for all the passengers needs. Anna was a great cook who not only met
but exceeded our expectations. Nikas was also very helpful throughout. Both
families enjoyed the trip which was an unforgettable experience for all of
us.

I am on the plane to Larnaka now after a few additional days in
Mykonos.

Many thanks for all your help. We are indeed looking forward to be given
another opportunity to take a cruise. We shall definitely recommend you if any
friends want similar cruises.

Mr. Christofi 20 - 27.08.2016 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49 Lefkas - Lefkas

A trouble free week with Ionian charter!

The booking of the yacht was very efficient. We got a competitive price and
the staff in Athens addressed our questions timely and efficiently.

The staff at the base in Lefkas was excellent as well. We quickly completed
paperwork went through check in and sailed away around 2pm on Saturday. The same
applied through check out!

Our yacht, Captain Stathis, was in very good condition. The engine gave us
no trouble. The windlass was fast and powerful. There was lots of chain on the
anchor which was helpful. The sails and running rigging were all good. More or
less everything was in good working condition!

Taking into account the age of the yacht and that we are approaching the
end of the sailing season Captain Stathis exceeded my expectations with its
overall condition and equipment!

It was also great meeting Mrs Eleni in Fiscardo. We had a nice chat and my
crew appreciated the two bottles of wine that she offered us.

I am very satisfied with your level of service and I will certainly inquire
with your company for future charters.

Mrs. Schumacher 13 - 27.08.2016 Beneteau Oceanis 34 Lefkas - Lefkas

Dear Ionian Charter Team,

We are more than happy to share our recent experience with you, please feel free to use our comments the way you like!

Although we have charterd in numerous other locations, it was the first time for us in Greece and the first time with two people on the boat only. Naturally, with two persons, it is highly important that everything on the boat is in proper working condition. Contrary to big international charter agencies, the whole check - in process had a very personal touch and we enjoyed a very warm welcome.

It was also nice to actually meet the owner of the boat and you could tell that a lot of notice was given to even small details, which make life easier, when sailing with a minimum crew. The boat was very clean, well equipped (long anchor chain, more than enough mooring ropes, gangway etc.) and in excellent working order. The team was also helpful in organizing rental cars and transportation to the airport.

When we experienced a minor problem with the electronics on board, the charter base immediately responded to our request and had a specialist available. On our return to Marina Lefkas, people were already awaiting our arrival and helped with the mooring. The check - out process was very efficient, included refueling on our behalf.

Thanks again to all of you for making this a very pleasurable vacation! We are looking forward to chartering again with Ionian the next Time!

I would
like to say great thanks to all! We under a big impression of a travel.

Efstathios
is the big professional, he has fascinated all our team.

Please send
our thanks to Ionian Charter!

Thank you
very much for your job!

Mr. Steyn 30.07 - 13.08.2016 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 35 Lefkas - Lefkas

Hi

The correspondence with yourselves was good, no
complaints, We had a fantastic 2 week sailing trip around the Ionians, the
welcome was great and boat was well equipped with all necessary gear for that
age of boat, nice to have all sheets and towels for 2 weeks.

Good pots and pans but lacked decent knives and
prepping tools.

Thanks

Mrs. Igel23 - 30.07.2016Lagoon 380

All of us
were extremely confident with our booking, the team at the base, check-in,
condition of the yacht, dealing with our little problem we had at the
beginning, equipment of the yacht...

All was
perfect and you made this holiday to an extraordinary experience for all of
us.We are looking forward to book again
with you!

I trust all is well. I am just writting to say thank you for your help/assistance.

We had a great time in our trip and had the best skipper we could ask for (Captain Stathis). He made the trip even better!

Please pass my regards to Ms. Eleni.

Mr. Pavlov 23 - 30.07.2016 Lagoon 420 Alimos, Athens - Alimos, Athens

I thank your company for the opportunity to travel a good yacht.

Status of the catamaran and the work of your staff me and my team is quiet satisfied with.

There is a desire and the next time to buy a charter in your company!

Mrs. Pojar 16 - 23.07.2016 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS Lefkas - Lefkas

Good Morning from Vienna Miss Halatsi!

I am sure that my husband will contact you too, but at time he is too buzy. I just wantto give you a short feedback!

We
had a great time and sailing trip with a perfect ship. The equipment
was perfect and very useful, we did not know that from Croatia. (Towels,
diving snorkel... also the technical equipment - perfect).

My
hushband posted already on a sailing platform, which Miss "Manon" gave
him at the checkout time. A great area, friendly people and stuff,
beautiful nature... After the sailing trip, we had one more week in
Parga.

The only minus :-( the time was too short....

I am sure we will see us next year on the fair in Tulln.

So Thank you once again!

I work in a travel agency, so we dont have much request for sailing boats but if so, I will recommend Greece and your Company!

We all thank you for your support and kind attention during to our trip.

We also thank to Stathis who is really very polite gentleman and expert skipper.

Mr. Krithis 03 - 09.07.2016 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i Lefkas - Lefkas

Nikos, Virginian and team thanks for an amazing trip we had a awesome time!The boat was great, the Capitan Nikos was absolute BEST and helped make it a once in a lifetime experience for my family! The Ionian islands are surely the prettiest in the world!

If it wasnt so far from Australia we would come back more often!Yiasou...

Mr. Molik 11 - 25.06.2016 Bavaria 33 Lefkas - Lefkas

Dear Mrs. Beka,

Thanks for asking!

We
have had two wonderful weeks! The yacht equipment, welcome at the base
and the check - in/out procedure was excellent. The condition of the
yacht was good.

I
was many times in this country, but I ve never ever seen so many
yachtsmen at the same time in this area, that mean you have to be at
late midday on a site to getting a space/berth.

May be we will charter in this area again in two years!

Mr. Yiallouris 02 - 09.05.2016 Beneteau Oceanis 50 Lefkas - Lefkas
